The first two-thirds of Three's a Crowd doesn't particularly feel like a Tales from the Crypt episode; indeed, it works very well as a study of marital isolation and the paranoia of the protagonist, and the whole thing is played dead serious. The main problem with the episode is that the ending feels like a different story than the beginning. The protagonist (I forgot his name) is played for sympathy at the beginning, and seems more depressed at the notion of his wife having an affair than angry or vengeful, which is why I didn't completely buy his resorting to murder at the end. Also, the twist is more or less predictable. On the plus side, the acting is good, the score is one of the best ever for a Crypt episode, and the story is pretty engrossing, if you don't mind an unexpectedly introspective conflict that doesn't immediately resort to slice-and-dice dark humor.
